2007 BMW 328I Complaints

TAKATA RECALL. AFTER BEING NOTIFIED BY BMW THAT MY CAR WAS BEING RECALLED FOR DANGEROUS AIRBAG DEPLOYMENTS I HAVE BEEN TERRIFIED TO DRIVE MY CAR OR LET MY LOVE ONES RIDE AS PASSENGERS. I HAVE BEEN DENIED USE OF MY VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THIS VERY DANGEROUS DEFECT WHILE WAITING FOR THE REPLACEMENT AIRBAGS FOR YEARS. I DESERVE COMPENSATION FROM BMW AND TAKATA AS DO ALL OTHER OWNERS WHO PURCHASED THEIR VEHICLES IN GOOD FAITH AND HAVE WAITED PATIENTLY FOR THIS HORRIBLE SITUATION TO BE RECTIFIED.

TAKATA RECALL. I RECEIVED RECALL NO. 16V-071 FROM BMW IN MARCH 2016. IT HAS NOW BEEN 13 MONTHS AND BMW HAS NOT RECALLED THE CAR AND REPAIRED THE AIRBAGS. ACCORDING TO THE NHTSA "TAKATA RECALL EXPANSION: WHAT CONSUMERS NEED TO KNOW", SINCE I LIVE IN ZONE A AND THE CAR IS OLDER THAN 2011 THE RECALL SHOULD HAVE OCCURRED BY NOW. I'M FILING A COMPLAINT AGAINST BMW FOR NOT RECALLING AND REPAIRING MY 2007 BMW 328I AS IT LEAVES ME AND MY PASSENGERS AT RISK.

OUT OF NO WHERE THE CAR DIDN'T WANT TO START UP ANY MORE. IT WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS THE BATTERY BUT IT WASN'T. I HAD IT CHECKED OUT AND THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHY IT COULDN'T START. I CHECKED ONLINE AND THEN I NOTICED THAT THERE'S BEEN A RECALL FOR 3 SERIES BMW DUE TO ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS AND I NOTICED THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE WERE IN MY SHOES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 BMW 328I. WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 BMW 328I. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V071000 (AIR BAGS). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SEVERAL DEALERS THROUGHOUT THE REGION AND WAS ADVISED THAT THERE WERE NO PARTS AVAILABLE TO REMEDY THE AIR BAG FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 145,000.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 BMW 328I. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V071000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

PLASTIC INSULATION HAS CRACKED AND PEELED ON ALL WIRING INSIDE MY FRONT HEADLIGHT HOUSINGS. EXPOSED WIRING CREATES A POTENTIAL SHORT CIRCUIT AND FIRE HAZARD.

SINCE I GOT THIS CAR MY OIL WAS LEAKING. I HAD TO REPLACE THE VAL COVER. I CAN'T REMEMBER HOW MUCH THAT COST ME. MY STEERING LOCK MODULE WAS REPLACED AND IT COST ME 1,181.07. I HAD MY BELT TENSIONER REPLACED BECAUSE IT WAS BENT. IT COST ME $327.04. THIS WAS DONE 3/6/2015. A RECALL ON SRS AIR BAG. I STILL HAVE THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT. BMW RECOMMENDED TO REPLACE OF EXHAUST LIFTERS AND ROLLER DRAG LEVERS WITH UPDATED UNIT TO ELIMINATE TICKING NOISE AT IDLE WHICH WILL COST ME 1,466.40. I NEED TO REPLACE ALTERNATOR, BELT, BATTERY AND THE CAR WON'T START. I FIXED THE BATTERY PROBLEM AND AS I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AND PARKED THE CAR WOULD NOT START. MY BATTERY CONNECTION NEED TO BE REPLACE. COMMON ISSUE WITH ALL BMW. I WILL SPEND ABOUT 1,518.7 TO FIX THE PROBLEM.

DURING NORMAL CRUISE, THE YELLOW STEERING LOCK APPEARED RANDOMLY ONCE....PULLING IN TO THE DRIVEWAY OF MY HOME THE STEERING LOCKED IN A FIX POSITION. I WAS GOING LESS THAN 5 MPH, MAINTAIN CONTROL BUT ALMOST IMPACTED MY HOME. IN DOING RESEARCH ON THIS FAULT, THERE ARE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE RANDOM RESULTS OF STEERING WHEEL LOCK ON BMW VEHICLES. I BELIEVE THAT IF I WAS NOT BEHIND THE WHEEL OF THIS CAR, IT COULD HAVE HAD VERY NEGATIVE RESULTS ( IF MY WIFE OR DAUGHTER WERE DRIVING-AND COULD HAVE CAUSE INJURY TO OTHERS OR PROPERTY). BMW NEEDS TO TAKE OWNERSHIP OF THESE FAULTS THAT HAVE THE POTENCIAL TO LOOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WHILE IN MOTION, AND WHEN NOT IN MOTION THE RIDICULOUS AMOUNT OF CHARGES THE COMPANY WANTS TO PASS TO CONSUMERS FOR A POTENTIAL FAULTY DESIGN OR QUALITY DEFICIENCY THAT CAN CAUSE INJURY OR WORSE.

TAKATA RECALL I HAVE BROUGHT MY CAR INTO BMW SERVICE CENTERS 3 TIMES (BMW DEALERSHIPS IN FORT WORTH, TX AND HOUSTON, TX) SINCE THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL WAS ANNOUNCED. TO DATE, I WAS NEVER INFORMED BY ANYONE FROM THOSE DEALERS OR BMW THAT MY CAR FELL INTO THE AFFECTED LOT. THROUGH MY OWN RESEARCH, I HAVE DISCOVERED MY CAR IS INDEED PART OF THE RECALL. THIS IS NOT SAFE OR SATISFACTORY. WHEN ONE TAKES THEIR CAR TO ANY CERTIFIED REPAIR FACILITY, MUCH LESS AN ACTUAL BMW DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTER, THE ASSUMPTION IS THAT HE OR SHE WILL LEAVE WITH A SAFE CAR AND FULL UNDERSTANDING OF ANY PENDING RECALLS. THIS WAS NOT THE CASE FOR ME.
